Description

  The present invention relates to a safety joint connecting device that can easily connect a safety joint in a state where a flammable fluid is blocked by a valve body by human power.

  In recent years, consumer bulk supply systems have become widespread as LP gas supply systems. As shown in FIG. 16 (a), the consumer bulk supply system has a bulk storage tank S installed in a site such as a general house H, an apartment house, a restaurant, etc., and an LP gas tank mounted on the bulk lorry R to the bulk storage tank S. This is a system for supplying LP gas from T.

  FIG. 16B schematically shows the piping unit 100 connected to the LP gas tank T. The piping unit 100 includes a valve 101, a pump 102, a filling hose 104 wound around a hose reel 103, a safety joint 105, and a coupling connected to the bulk storage tank S in order from the upstream side. 106.

  When supplying LP gas from the LP gas tank T to the bulk storage tank S, the filling hose 104 wound around the hose reel 103 is extended and the coupling 106 is connected to the bulk storage tank S. When the pump 102 is driven using the driving force transmitted from the bulk lorry R, the LP gas stored in the LP gas tank T is supplied to the bulk storage tank S through the piping unit 100.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing, in time series, a state in which the safety joint 105 included in the above-described piping unit 100 is connected, FIG. 17A is separated, FIG. 17B is temporarily fixed, and FIG. Shows the safety joint 105 in a connected state.

  The safety joint 105 is a joint for connecting / separating the filling hose 104 and the coupling 106, and is constituted by a pair of joints of a male joint 105a and a female joint 105b. The male joint 105 a is connected to one end side of the filling hose 104. The female joint 105 b is connected to one end side of the coupling 106.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, when the safety joint 105 is separated, the flow path R1 of the male joint 105a is blocked by the first valve body 110, and the flow path R2 of the female joint 105b is the second valve. The body 111 is in a state of being blocked.

  Next, a case where the safety joint 105 is connected will be described. When connecting the safety joint 105, the sleeve 113 urged to the male joint 105a side by the coil spring 112 of the female joint 105b shown in FIG. The ball 116 protruding in the fitting groove 115 to be fitted with the outer cylinder 114 of the joint 105a is moved outward.

  When the outer cylinder 114 of the male joint 105a is pushed into the fitting groove 115 in this state, the ball 113 is supported by the outer cylinder 114 of the male joint 105a as shown in FIG. The body 110 and the second valve body 111 collide. Further, when the outer cylinder 114 of the male joint 105a is pushed into the fitting groove 115, as shown in FIG. 17C, the ball 116 is recessed in the outer cylinder 114 of the male joint 105a. The male joint 107a and the female joint 107b are connected to each other in the groove 117. The flow path R1 of the male joint 105a communicates with the first valve body 110 being pulled away from the seating portion, and the first valve body 110 also presses the second valve body 111 of the flow path R2 of the female joint 105b. As a result, the second valve body 112 is separated from the seating portion and communicates.

  Thus, by connecting the safety joint 105, the flow path of the filling hose 105 connected to the safety joint 105 and the flow path of the coupling 106 can be brought into communication. When the safety joint 105 is separated, the flow path is blocked by the first valve body 110 for the male joint 105a and the second valve body 111 for the female joint 105b. Even if the safety joint 105 is separated, it is possible to prevent the LP gas from being discharged from the filling hose 105 and the coupling 106 to the outside.

  However, when the safety joint 105 described above is separated during the supply of LP gas, the first valve body 110 and the second valve body 111 will receive the internal pressure of LP gas, for example, the environmental temperature is high in summer, When the internal pressure of LP gas is high, there is a problem that the separated safety joint cannot be connected manually again unless the internal pressure of LP gas is lowered or the LP gas is discharged to the outside. .

  Therefore, conventionally, when such a situation occurs, LP gas cannot be discarded on the spot due to the property of being flammable, and the LP gas collected on the filling hose or coupling is purposely returned to the base. As a result, it was necessary to recover the gas, which was an obstacle to efficient LP gas filling work.

And a ceiling wall 57e that is connected to the rear wall 57a, the side wall 57b, and the upper portion of the first holding wall 57c and is formed in a substantially L shape.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the second holding wall 57c has a third cutout portion 61 formed by cutting out in a circular arc shape from the left end portion to the right in the drawing, and a third cutout portion 61. And a fourth cutout portion 62 that is formed by cutting out in a circular arc shape smaller than the third cutout portion 61 continuously to the right. In the present embodiment, the male joint 105 a of the safety joint 105 is held by the third cutout portion 61, and the fourth cutout portion 62 has a male joint 105 a held by the third cutout portion 61. Another male joint of different diameter is retained.

Shaft 58 is for transmitting the power for moving the moving unit 57, the first holding wall 56c and the side wall 56b of the fixed unit 56, the side wall 57b and the second holding wall 57c of the mobile unit 57 through And it is supported rotatably about the axial direction as the center of rotation. A male screw is threaded on the surface, and a nut 63 welded to the outer surface of the side wall 57b of the moving unit 57 is screwed onto the male screw. Furthermore, a handle 64 is attached to the end of the first holding wall 56c.

Therefore, when the operator rotates the handle 64. behind the wheel 64 clockwise, the rotational moment is applied to the moving unit 57 via a shaft 58, a first holding wall 56c moving unit 57 along the shaft 58 Move to the side (arrow R direction). Conversely, when the handle 64 is rotated counterclockwise, the moving unit 57 moves along the shaft 58 in the direction away from the first holding wall 56c side (in the direction of arrow L).

The lever 59 is for transmitting the power required for connecting the safety joint 105 in a temporarily fixed state, which will be described later, to the moving unit 57 , and extends linearly in the state shown in FIG. A base shaft portion 59 a and a handle portion 59 b that bends and extends from the middle of the base shaft portion 59 a toward the fixed unit 56, and is detachably attached to the base portion 55.

  Specifically, a locking portion 59c that is bent in a substantially reverse letter shape is formed at the end of the base shaft portion 59a. The locking portion 59c is formed in the bottom wall 55a of the base portion 55. The base shaft portion 59a of the lever 59 is inserted into the opening 55c (see FIG. 12B), and the arrow U2 direction and the arrow D2 center around the contact portion between the locking portion 59c and the bottom wall 55a of the base portion 55. It is attached so that it can be rotated in any direction.

  Further, in the lever 59, when the handle portion 59b is rotated in the direction of arrow D1, the base shaft portion 59a that rotates in the direction of arrow D2 contacts the end of the shaft 58 (the side opposite to the side on which the handle 64 is attached). Are arranged to be. Therefore, when the operator rotates the handle portion 59b of the lever 59 in the direction of the arrow D1, the base shaft portion 59a rotates in the direction of the arrow D2 and contacts the end portion of the shaft 58. Here, since the shaft 58 is supported so as to be movable in the direction of the arrow R and the direction of the arrow L, when the base shaft portion 59a of the lever 59 contacts the end of the shaft 58, the shaft 58 and the shaft 58 are screwed together. The moving unit 57 is moved in the direction of the arrow R integrally.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the case where the safety joint 105 in the separated state is connected using the safety joint connecting device 1D will be described. FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are diagrams showing the state of connecting the safety joint 105 in time series, FIG. 14 (a) is separated, FIG. 14 (b) is temporarily fixed, FIG. 15 (c) is temporarily fixed, 15 (d) shows the safety joint 105 in a connected state.

  When connecting the safety joint 105 in the separated state, first, the handle 64 is rotated counterclockwise so that the distance between the first holding wall 56c and the second holding wall 57c is equal to the male joint 105a and the female joint. It adjusts so that it may become more than the total length with 105b. Then, as shown in FIG. 14A, the portion connected to the male joint 105a is fitted into the third cutout portion 61, and the portion connected to the female joint 105b is fitted into the first cutout portion 70. The male joint 105a and the female joint 105b are held.

When the male joint 105a and the female joint 105b are held, the handle 64 is rotated clockwise while pressing the sleeve 113 of the female joint 105b. Then, the moving unit 57 moves to the first holding wall 56c side (arrow R direction) integrally with the male joint 105a, the tip of the male joint 105b engages with the female joint 105b, and the safety joint 105 The temporarily fixed state shown in FIG.

  In this state, a lever 59 is attached to the base portion 55 as shown in FIG. That is, since it is not necessary to attach the lever 59 before this state is reached, a work space before this state can be effectively secured. The lever 59 is set, and the handle portion 59b of the lever 59 is rotated in the direction of the arrow D1.

  Here, the handle portion 59b is not provided on the lever 59, and the base shaft portion 59a can be rotated directly by gripping the base shaft portion 59a. However, in such a case, a horizontal force is strongly required. On the other hand, if it is attempted to rotate the lever by grasping the handle portion 59b, a large force is required in the vertical direction, but it is easy to apply a large force in the vertical direction by, for example, applying a weight of the lever. It is possible to facilitate transmission of a large force.

  When the handle portion 59b of the lever 59 is rotated in the direction of the arrow D1, the base shaft portion 59a rotates in the direction of the arrow D2, and contacts the end of the shaft 58 (the side opposite to the end where the handle 64 is attached). . Then, the shaft 58 receives a rotational moment from the lever 59 and moves in the direction of arrow R integrally with the moving unit 57 screwed. Thus, as shown in FIG. 15D, the male joint 105a and the female joint 105b constituting the safety joint 105 are connected.

  As described above, according to the safety joint coupling device 1D of the fourth embodiment, the moving unit 57 is moved using the rotational moment in the same manner as described in the first to third embodiments. Since the safety joint 105 is connected, the safety joint 105 can be connected only by human power. Moreover, since the space | interval of the 1st holding wall 56c and the 2nd holding wall 57c can be freely adjusted by rotating the handle | steering-wheel 64, it can respond to the safety joint of various sizes. Furthermore, since the lever 59 operates at one point regardless of the size of the safety joint, it is necessary to change the mounting position of the lever 59 according to the type of the size of the safety joint as described in the third embodiment. Therefore, the operability of the apparatus can be improved.

  In the case of the fourth embodiment, since the power applied to finally connect the male joint 105a and the female joint 105b uses the rotational moment given by the lever 59, the safety joint 105 is temporarily fixed. In view of this, the handle 64 of the fourth embodiment can be made smaller than the handle 11 of the first embodiment, considering that it can be performed with a smaller force than the connection.

  The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be easily guessed.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the male joint 105a is held by the moving unit 4 or the like configured to move substantially linearly toward the held female joint 105b has been described. In addition, a lever that is rotatably arranged with respect to the base portion 2 or the like is provided while holding the male joint 105a, and by rotating the lever, the held male joint 105a is replaced with the female joint 105b. You may comprise so that it may push in. In such a case, since the mechanism for transmitting power and the mechanism for holding the male joint 105b can be made common, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts.

  Further, for example, in the above embodiment, in order to improve the mobility of the moving unit 4 and the like, a sheet capable of reducing friction is stuck on the surface where the moving unit 4 and the fixed unit 3 and the like come into contact with each other. You may do it. In such a case, since the moving unit 4 and the like move smoothly, the safety joint 105 can be connected with a smaller force.

  Further, for example, in each of the above embodiments, the case where the female joint 105b is fixed and the male joint 105a is moved and pushed into the female joint 105b has been described. However, the male joint 105a is fixed. The female joint 105b may be moved and pushed into the male joint 105a.
